She took a breath and said, “How does it feel to truly be loved? There are not enough words in any language to correctly describe such a gift. It is wondrous…humbling…frightening…miraculous. It is all of those things and thousands more, burning as bright as the colors of a sunset. With Darius, I discovered the most wonderful thing of all—that when you are wrapped in the arms of love, you have finally come home.”
She saw her friends’ eyes glistening. Bliss of course, Felicity, even Lady Devlyn wiped away a tear.
Serena blinked back her own tears as her heart swelled with happiness. “And that, ladies, is what I wish for each of you in this life.”

SEDUCING THE BRIDE
Brides of Mayfair Series – Book 1
Lord Beckett Thornby is in need of a wife. In order to claim his inheritance, the confirmed bachelor must marry. Yet the last place he expects to find a bride is in the backstreets of London in a rubbish heap.
Isobel Hampton is running from a painful past…and a dangerous man who will stop at nothing until he finds her. A marriage of convenience with a sinfully handsome lord seems like the perfect solution, until Isobel realizes her husband wants much more from her than she is willing to give.
Soon, the marriage that was supposed to be “all business” turns into a dangerous dance of seduction that could leave one or both of them with a broken heart.
(Originally published under the title The Marriage Bargain in 2000 – Seducing The Bride is a newly revised and updated edition.)

TAMING THE BRIDE
Brides of Mayfair Series – Book 2
The last thing Prudence Atwater wants is a husband, for her sole purpose in life is to run The Atwater Finishing School for Young Ladies. But her beloved institution is not just any finishing school, for secretly, her ambition is to rescue unfortunates from the streets, even if it means dressing up as a streetwalker herself in order to infiltrate their world. What she doesn’t count on one memorable night outside Drury Lane is to be propositioned by a devilishly handsome nobleman who leaves her breathless…
After a night at the theater, Lord Alfred Weston is surprised to find himself engaged in a most titillating conversation with a strangely intriguing and intelligent light-skirt. The moment ends in a heated kiss, followed by an inconvenient turn of events that leaves him desperate to track down the cheeky tart who caused him to wind up in the Times. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that by day, she is a bookish, innocent school-marm!
Like Prudence, Alfred has no interest in the shackles of marriage, but this strikingly beautiful and recklessly independent young woman arouses his passions—and his frustrations—at every turn. Alfred vows to have her in his bed, and to do that he must find a way to tame her.
“Filled with a colorful cast of characters and laugh-out-loud moments, the story of Lord Weston and the incomparable Miss Prudence Atwater is an enjoyable, entertaining, and deliciously sexy Regency romp.”
